Anxiety can really get in the way, more often than not. It gets in the way at school, mostly. I suffer from it. A lot of people do. These are some tips that are a blend of what works for me and what has been recommended by the lovely jessiepaege on YouTube. I really do hope these tips help, so why don’t we get started.

Tip #1: Find Your Support Group

Everybody needs a life support group. This group should be people you can talk to and feel comfortable talking to about whatever is bothering you.

Tip #2: Don’t Attach Food to Emotion

If you attach food to emotion, it changes your eating habits for the worse. You can either overeat or undereat, and neither are good for you. You need to eat normally.

Tip #3: Music

Make a playlist to listen to when things become to much. Here are some of the songs I use:

Songs That Make Me Want To Dance

Diamond On A Landmine- Billy Talent

Louder Than The DJ- Billy Talent

I Want Out- Young Guns

Dracula- Bea Miller

Empowering Songs

Like That- Bea Miller

Wild Things- Alessia Cara

Young Blood- Bea Miller

Sad Songs

Nothing To Lose- Billy Talent

When We Were Young- Adele

Cure For The Enemy- Billy Talent

Too Late To Say Goodbye- Cage The Elephant

Tip #4: Distractions

Have something to take your mind off of whatever is bugging you. If they aren’t banned, fidget spinners work great. If you don’t have a spinner, or can’t bring one, wear a hairtie on your wrist and mess around with it. It takes your mind off of what is bugging you.

Tip #5: Journal

Keep a journal to just write down whatever is bugging you so that you can talk about whatever is bugging you later. It works, trust me.
